Talking To The Saints

Talking To The Saints…

There are some denominations that believe in the veneration of saints. They build statues to honor them and pray to them- Saint Joseph, Saint Jude, etc. Is it biblical to venerate saints? Yes, as long as it’s the right saints and the right venerating – as in giving honor.

Scripture teaches that everyone who’s born of the Spirit is a saint – thus we must believe in all of them. It’s saints who greet you at Worship Service, who teach the word, who sit next to you in the service. We’re to honor the saints around us, never to worship or pray to them, but to revere and bless them.

The saints who are already in heaven don’t need your reverence, but the saint who sits next to you, your brother and sister in the Lord, could use real love, respect, honor, and encouragement.

It’s okay to ask a saint to pray for you as long as the saint is alive. It’s even nicer to pray for a saint because the saints can use your prayers. Love a saint today because saints are biblical, and so is their veneration and blessing.

Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.  Ephesians 6:18

Take every opportunity the Lord gives you today to honor and encourage the saints around you.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
